Evil

Great show, I'm fully involved....until the daughters are on screen, then I consider switching it off. Good lord, who thought they were a good idea? The screeching and high-pitched whining....its just the worst. I read the reviews before watching and thought people were just blowing it out of proportion...

They are not. The daughters almost make the show unwatchable. I'm hoping there's an episode where they get sucked into a demon dimension or something. I'd love to hear the direction for their scenes - "OK, girls, louder this time! Can you get your voices to a higher pitch? We really need to give the audience the worst headache possible!"

Please, for the love of anything holy, shut the kids up. Do they really need to shriek and scream All. The. Time??

I love this show... Great story with a lot of scary Scenes... The acting is excellent all the way around. Doesn't get to corny or political. But... Those 4-girls and the All the Screaming is soo annoying! Why does the Director insist on all the screaming over and over. I cringe every time I see these girls. Why? Maybe just one time it might be funny. But every time? Why?

Well written, well executed with excellent actors. I don't usually go for scary stuff, but the show is that good, I am hooked. Two problems mar the scenery. First, the daughters. Maybe the writers have kids who act like this so they think it's normal. It is not. It's awful, distracting, annoying and overdone. Ever since the beginning of season 1, when they come on the sound is off. Hurray for mute and subtitles. 90% of reviews have the same complaint but apparently the writers don't care if we hate it.

Second problem is the neverending saga of the same bad guy. Michael Emerson is a really good actor, but come on. If there will be a season 4 please freshen it up with a new antagonist.

Finally, the train. It has been clearly stated that the train passes three times a day. But every time the scene moves to Kristen's house the we have to listen to the train. Kristen arrjves home. Train. Scene wih kids. Train. Sheryl in the yard. Train. Kristen trying to sleep. Train. So, as wih the kids, less is more.

The show is pretty good, except the way they've written the kids is mind-numbingly overbearing and quite unrealistic. Almost every scene with them is a babbling noise of choreographed arguing. It's just too much!
